text_original: Early in the fifth century these Northern Franks, under a chief named Clodion, moved southward, and drove the Eoman garrison out of Cambrai in 445. Clodion then seized Tournai, which became the capital of a new Frankish kingdom. His successor, Merowig, who is said to have taken his part in the great battle of Chalons that drove Attila out of Gaul, died about 457, and was succeeded by his son Childeric.
